FINE BALLOONING.
Description of Trip in Which the Highest
Point Was Reached.

In August last an ascent was made at Paris
by Captain Jovis and NJ. Mallet to determine
the possibilities of high ascensions. Their
purpose was to make the height of 5000 me-
tres; that is, five miles. Their balloon, the
Horla, was sixty feet in height. They were
supplied with instruments for various uses
a thermometer to register the lowest temper
ature, hygrometer to determine the mois-
ture OF the air, an electroscope to show the
presence of electricity. and an electrome-
ter to measure its energy an altimer to mark
the height barometer to show the pressure
of the air, ships compass, three bags filled
with oxygen gas for the men when they
found the air too thin to support life.
The aeronauts also took with them two
carrier pigeons, to be sent off from the bal
loon at different heights and two guinea
pigs upon which the effect of the lighter air
might be observed.
1t was quarter-past seven o'clock in the
morning when the "Horla'' left the ground
OF this way of travelling as navigating the
air, the record of the voyage is properly
called the log of the 'Horla.'" Some ex-
tracts from this will tell the story in the
clearest manner:
$3.50 A. NJ. At $3.50 metres. The first
pigeon is let loose" This bird is supposed
to have been caught by hawk. 'The lit
'9.15. At 5000 metres. The view is
splendid. Mallet who had fallen asleep,
awakes. The guinea pigs, three parts frozen,
are writhing The temperature is at zero
(thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit).
''9.45. At 6.4OO metres. Cold feet and
nausea. Pulse gooa. Mallet is better. He
wishes to sleep. Weather superb.
10. At 1000 metres Mallet is very well.
We hear shot fired. The guinea pigs are
almost ifeless.
sIO.1O. At 1000 metres. Let us go down
as quickly as we can. Mallet is well. The
second pigeon is very bad; the guinea pigs
insensible."
The reader will be interested to learn that
the guinea pigs were all right as soon as they
got back to the ground again.
At eleven o'clock the 'Horla'' came to
land in the forest of Freyre IN Belgium.
The distance travelled in four hours was $50
kilometres, or about 236 miles. Allowing
for the divergence from straight course, by
drifting in the currents OF air, the distance
made is likely to have been more than 400
kilometres-25O miles.
One curious fact observed was that at the
height of 4, 800 metres the temperature was
tWenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, while at
the height of 5000 metres the thermometer
registered thirtyseven and one-half degrees
Fahrenheit, showing rise of nearly ten de-
grees in temperature, for an elevation of
200 metres This goes to prove that cur
rents Of air do not readily mingle when they
meet, but the colder current passes under
the warmer one, as Is the case with currents
of water
April Is, 1875, the "Zenith" carried M. Tis-
sander and histwo companions to the height
of about 5000 metres. Just before reaching
that elevation both the companions died,
and Tissandier was forced to desist from
further progress. It is evident that the dan
ger line'' would vary for different individuals

Mr.. Scott was a member of the LotOs
and two or three other fashionable clubs.
He lived quietly at II West Thirty second
street, but liked fast horses and expensive
associations, and has lately given the
time to these which we supposed he was
devoting to business in Paterson and
among our customers. Il is the intention
of the senior member of this firm to effect

BILE, with a view to retiring to private

The Ivanhoe Company is one of the
Oldest manufacturing establishments in
Paterson, producing about seven tons of
paper daily, principally tissue and COM
mercial note. Its stock has heretofore
passed through the hands of Vernon
Brothers & Co. to the trade, but about a
week ago their relations were disturbed
by the pending complications, and the
product of the mill has since been ac-
cumulating at Paterson. Yesterday at
tachment proceedings were begun in the
Supreme Court by Joseph c. Tully
against the Ivanhoe Company, Samuel
Webber Parker, its treasurer, and David
Scott, its president, to recover 81, TAT SO,
the amount due upon promissOry note
of the company, indorsed by Parker and
Scott.
An old friend of Mr. Scott said he was
generous to fault, and was a source of
charitable aid to all his embarrassed COM
patriots at all times. For years he had
lived at the rate of $4,000 to 100000 a
year, and he was hail-fellOw- well-met in
all society. Erastus Wiman, of r. G.
Dun & Co., said Vernon Brothers & Co.
had made a statement to them of their
assets and liabilities, from which it ap-
peared that the firm had So in assets for
every dollar it owed. Its pape: was prin-
cipally held by the banks, by whom the
firms condition nwas perfectly lyunderstood,
and it would have no difficulty in Sc
curing whatever accommodations would
be necessary to tide over the temporary

B.d Enscta of Grin Ti Tinc Water.

Sanitary matters are us bad In Bokhara as
they used to be in England but the people
are far less to blame than our fathers weic,
for England Is by nature blessed far more
than Bokhara in regard to matters of health.
Some London water is even now-well, let
Us say, trying to the constitution-after it
has been stored for month Or so In filthy
water butt. But no length OF storage will,
in our happy climate, breed the "rishta, !" that
horrible worm found also in parts Of west
Africa, and taken long ago over to the new
world. Old Jeplrinson, who in 1858, being in
the Russian service, sailed over the Caspian
and made his way to Bokhara, says: "The
water Il very bad; breeding in the legs
worms an ell long. If these break in being
pulled out, the patient dies For all this in
convenience, they are forbidden to drink any
liquor but water and mares milk; and those
who break this law are whipt through the
market; yea, if only mans breath smells Of
spirits he shall have good drubsing.'
1t is not quite so bad as Jenkinson said; but
If the 'rishta" does break, all the little worms
inside it spread through the body, and the
sufferer gets full of ulcers, which takes months
to heal The native BARRIERS use needle and

rilden at the Shrine Of Beauty.

Some years ago, at the Fifth Avenue thea
tire, distinguished party passed from the
managers box behind the scenes to congratu-
late Mary Anderson upon her success. The
scene in the green room was very striking a.
the tall Kentucky beauty was formally pre-
sented by Henry Watterson to Samuel J.
Tilden. Attired in an elaborate full dress
suit, jewel sparkling in his shirt front, his
hair carefully combed, his face radiant with
smiles, to which the dropping of one eyelid
gave quizzical debonair expression, Mr. Til
den paid his compliments to the actress with
all the grace and empressement Of a French
nobleman. The airiest nothings sparkled as
he uttered them, the commonplaces of ad-
miration glowed with the fervor of his look
and manner.
"What q handsome man Mr.. Tilden isl"

ton; II never thought of his age. Why, hia

MAKING A FIELD-FlFE TALK.

Elsctrifying Camp with Imprompsa
Compositions-Death of Dssertsr.
"There were a great many war melo-
dies" said q musical man, shat never
went even as far as words. We had in
our old brigade, remember, . man who
made the fife as much . wonder ~ Ole
Bull made the violin. This was Capt. Lou
Houk, and he was kept with the regiment
through the influence Of the commissioned
officers, who made 1t to his interest to ro-
main. It was his custom to play every
night just before tattoo, and very fre-
Quently he indulged in impromptu compo-
sitions that electrified tho camp. Hun
dreds of nights the boys went to sleep to
the soft airs of Lou Houk's fife, which ab-
solutely talked to them Of the sweet menu
ories of home.
"He could make a fife talk. Iremember
on one occasion deserter was to b shot.
The whole brigade was formed on three
sides of great square. As the condemned
man, accompanied by the captain and the
guard and the men carrying his coffin,
marched along the lines each regimental
band took up the strains Of the funeral
march. As the little group reached the
head of our regiment instead Of the band
taking up the strain Lou Houk's f1fe took
it up. Whether he was in sympathy with
the man to be shot or not, his fife walled
out such pitiful cry Of grief, such ex-
pressions of heart-break that the heads OF
more than half the men in the regiment
went down with a sob.
"There was something in the music 70
like woman's cry, SO full Of q more than
mans tenderness that the man who was

some one had spoken to him words Of
sympathy and encouragement, He went
along the line beyond with step in which
there was more Of a soldiers pride than he
had ever exhibited before, and when other
bands took up the plaintive music it was
observed that he listened closely for the
sound of the fife still wailing, wailing in
speaking tenderness. That was twenty

The Inheritance of Moral Qualities.

The inheritance Oh moral XuoAt10es
The longer live the more believe in
blood-good blood, bad blood, proud
blood, humble blood, honest blood, thiev-
ing blood, heroic blood, cowardly blood.
The tendency may skip generation or
two, but it is sure to come out, as In lit
tie child you sometimes see similarity
to a great-grandfather, whose picture
hangs on the wall. That the physical and
mental and moral qualities are inheritable
is patent to any one who keeps his eyes
open. The similarity is SO striking some
times as to be amusing. Great families,
legal or literary, are apt to have the char
acteristic all down through the genera
tions, and what is more perceptible in
such families may be seen on smaller
scale in all families. A thousand years
have no power to obliterate the difRer-
ence.
